What a Blessed Sunday!!!

We had an Awesome day on Sunday!!! After church in the late afternoon, we went by a friends house from church to drop off some things and the girls finally got to meet Cocoa & Cisco in person. We have been telling them that 'one day' we will bring them by there to visit...this turned out to be that day!!! :)

This is Cisco, the Bethlehem donkey and Cocoa, the miniature horse...aren't they adorable?!!!!


The girls could not have been any happier...well, maybe if it was fall with cooler temps!!


Madeline loves horses and would truly love to be a farmer one day :)


Mia loves horses too and was helping to gather the hay for the feed bucket! :)


It was so nice being outside and enjoying the view of their beautiful place, the animals, the fellowship...it felt like we were away on vacation!!!


Daddy & his country girls :) We would all love to live in the country!!! Donny & Cathie decided to surprise the girls with a ride on Cocoa before we headed out...the girls were so excited:)

Mia went first...Mr. Donny helped her get situated on Cocoa!

Miss Cathie walked her around the loop only because Roy's leg was still acting up at that point and I am currently allergic to horses...although I am believing God that will change! The girls love horses way too much for Mommy to be allergic :)


Mia's joyful ride almost up!!!


Madeline's turn...she was so happy!!!!


While she was riding, she got to pet the donkey as he followed close by next to Cocoa!!! It was really sweet to see how protective Cisco was of Cocoa :)


What a blessing for the girls!!!


Thank you so much Donny & Cathie...we had such a nice time visiting, hearing and sharing stories! Meeting Cisco & Cocoa and the puppy :) You all are so blessed...you have such a beautiful home & property...it truly was like we went out of town on vacation. Thank you for spending time with us on our "short-notice" visit!! You both made the girls so happy with the time they got to spend with the animals and the ride we were not expecting!! Roy & I appreciate the fellowship we had with you both...we haven't had for that for a while and really missed it :)


On our way home, we took the scenic route by the Lake...we were blessed to have favor to see a beautiful sunset!


One last shot closer to home...it was incredible!!! Thank you God for your creation and the beauty of it that surrounds us everyday :)
